Underwater Vehicle Design ENGR 100 - Fall 2014

Students design, build, and test their fast and maneuverable own remotely operated vehicle (ROV), sometimes called a submersible, for underwater exploration. This is a “free design” project with minimal constraints on size, shape, and function. Student teams are provided with raw building materials, 4 thrusters, a blank control box, toggle switches and buttons, and a payload consisting of a battery, a video camera (to steer by), and a tether to connect the control box to the ROV.
